He does not mean — though 
heaven be fair — 
To change the spirits entering 
there, that they forget 
The eyes upraised and wet, 
The Hps too still for prayer. 
The mute despair.

Madonna clella Sedia 



RAPHAEL 



89 



God never made 
Spirit for spirit, answering 
shade for shade, 
And placed them side by 
side — 
So wrought in one, though 
separate, mystified — 
And meant to break 
The quivering threads between.
